Considering the amount of tourism the viral baby hippopotamus, Moo Deng, brought to Thailand, perhaps a little baby hippo of our own could hail the same results, right?

Taiping Zoo & Night Safari recently took to their Facebook page to announce the birth of their very own insanely cute baby hippopotamus.

“Before this, Lek gave birth to a hippopotamus in 2016 named Atan. With this new birth, ZTNS now has 4 hippos.”

 

They also welcomed 16 adorable little Sulcata Tortoises.

“In the same development, ZTNS also celebrated the birth of 16 Sulcata Tortoises (Geochelone sulcata) babies in a successful first breeding for this species at ZTNS,”

“All of these baby tortoises are now undergoing a period of quarantine and close monitoring to ensure good health and development before being shown to visitors,” they added.
